If the name Threads sounds familiar, you may have used Instagram’s old Threads app which was specifically designed for messaging. They have since discontinued that app, and now repurposed the name for their new Threads app for text-based posts. Given that people have very mixed feelings about Twitter right now, it’s great timing on Instagram’s part to introduce this new alternative.
You can download the Threads app for free from the App Store.
iPhone: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/threads…
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/de…When you first open Threads, you’ll be prompted to sign in using your existing Instagram account. From there, you can set up your Threads profile with your name, profile picture and bio. To make things easier, you can also import your profile data from your Instagram page. Then tap Next. Now you can choose whether you want your Threads profile to be public so anyone can see, or private so only your followers can see your posts. This setting is separate from your regular Instagram account. Now Threads will suggest for you to follow the same accounts you already follow on Instagram. You can choose to individually tap Follow beside the names of the users you’d like to also follow on Threads, or tap Follow All to automatically follow all the same people you already follow on Instagram. Then tap Join Threads.
